foreword

• there are many ways in which an anniversary edition of a
yearbook may be handled, we have used two methods of
showing progress both in 'Hhe oak" and in the school, first,
we have used a simple yet modern art theme of straight lines,
second, we have included in the book a great variety of the
many activities and events of the school, through the use
of these two devices we hope to have made this a beautiful
and accurate record of your school activities for the year
which marks the silver anniversary of ''the oak."

dedication

• to thomas sutton in appreciation of his many years of
service as president of the board of trustees and of his
enthusiastic support of student activities at indiana, we
dedicate this, the twenty-fifth volume of "the oak."

growth • the natural law of life is growth,
we find this everywhere in the physical world
around us. the plant or tree which fails to grow
soon withers, is stunted and worthless, the
same law holds good in the sphere of humanity,
does this apply to the state teachers college at
indiana? such growth may be threefold: physi-
cal or material, mental or intellectual, and moral
or spiritual.

• as to the first, the evidence is so plain it needs
only to be stated as a self-evident fact.

• as to the second, somewhat harder to discern,
there is also clear evidence to those who have

been able to follow the courses of instruction
from the beginning, but time is still required for
further development as we grow into manhood
and womanhood.

• but what about the third, most important of
all? in this material age has the same progress
been made? it is our firm conviction that the
same advance is being made in this direction
also, with a clearer and broader vision and
outlook upon the complicated conditions of our
present unsettled world.

• classes

seniors adjourn • "our meeting will come to order with the
secretary's reading of the minutes for the last four years," announces
the president.

• the class of '36, for the last four years, has met each fall and dis-
banded each spring, successively becoming smaller yet more compact,
during the natural run of classes, proms, and outings, we made rapid
progress, developing from exceedingly polite, willing-to-please fresh-
men to discourteously friendly seniors who address each other as
"hi toots," "hiya pal," or a warmer greeting yet is just calling the
last name or an abbreviation of such. it is this spirit in which we have
lived our senior year, and it is this same spirit that we will carry away
with us to call upon in time of need, senior day we reminded our-
selves of sailors about to depart for unknown seas. we desperately
made the most of our last chance to have a whole day to eat, play, and
dance together, the pride we exhibited when we crowned queen
ethel was symbolic of our feeling for our accomplishments, our
Indiana background of work and play is a starting point on which we
intend to build, it will help us meet new experiences and new
peoples, we have learned how to learn, and in spite of all our "grip-
ing" we realize what different individuals we have become, we are
thankful, glad, and sad. thankful to indiana and aU it has done for
us; glad that we, both as individuals and as a group have had the
opportunity to benefit by the generosity of our school; sad to think
that now we are leaving the environment we have enjoyed so much.

• the president calls for old business, we feel we have settled all
accounts, but when he asks for new business the followring motion is
unanimously agreed upon, "it is moved that everyone gets a job
(with remuneration), keeps it, acquires new friends, and never
forgets the old."

• the motion for adjournment is made — reluctantly.

junior cidSS • the members of the junior class can be distinguished about
campus by their proud airs and their carefree, self-sufficient attitudes, for they
have just come up from the hoi palloi and have not yet begun to struggle over
lesson plans, they believe, too, that they hold the most envied position on the
campus with the exception that they can't go home weekends to interview school
directors, but maybe it's best, for it's a saving on the boy friend's gas at times.

• it is at the psychology clinic that the affairs of state are carried on. members
of the executive council are frequently asked if they are having their i.q.'s
tested; but it seems that they were just conferring with dr. g. p. davis, the class
sponsor, whose main duties are to take the blame for everyone and to guide
personalities into successful paths which, the juniors hope, will be lined with
sheep skins next year.

• the space below is reverently set aside in dedication to the many
sophomore class pictures which were scheduled and never taken.

the sophomore class • under the guidance of miss jane 1. mcgrath,
the class sponsor, and the council, composed of last year's and this year's
officers, the sophomore class has experienced a very successful and joyous year,
the members of this class, which approximates four hundred in number, have
already made themselves "pleasantly felt" on the campus, both in their classes
and in the various extra-curricular activities.

• one of the season's gala occasions was the sophomore prom with its artistic
surroundings, silver music, beautifully gowned women, and formally attired men.

• the class feels that it has had a prosperous year because it has again made
good its pledge to contribute one hundred dollars to a cause which will benefit
the college as a whole, it is possible this year to complete the payments for
"by the way," a shelter at the college lodge, the sophomores hope that "by
the way" will be utilized by any college group that enjoys cooking and eating a
snack in the open, "by the way" will be a tangible reminder of the happy col-
lege days of the class of 1938.

the freshman class

freshman class • this fail about four hundred fifty energetic and ambi-
tious freshmen enrolled at Indiana state teachers college, awkward and ill-at-
ease, they entered into activities timidly at first, then with more confidence
as many of the school organizations gave "get-acquainted" parties for them
and helped them get acclimated to this new situation.

• early in the first semester they held an election of officers and became an
organized unit of the school, later, with some help from the upper classmen,
they were initiated into the ways and actions of students of Indiana and came
to feel that they were losing a little of their freshman freshness.

• in the second semester the outstanding event of their social year, the freshman
promenade, was held on february 22. following this, sorority and fraternity
rushing took their attention for a month or so.

• now they have entered into the full spirit of the school and consider that being
a freshman has been an enjoyable experience, which even the fulfillment next
year of their highest hopes can no more than equal.

txl6 inQldlld psnn • the Indiana penn, published friday of each week
by interested and efficient students in journalism, and financed by the student
co-operative association from the activity fee, is the newspaper of the college,
seventeen hundred copies are printed each week which includes a mailing list
of approximately two hundred twenty-five names of colleges and universities,
high schools, and the board of trustees of the college, recently a new policy
has been formulated by which two special alumni editions each year will be
substituted for the alumni bulletin.

• the penn prints the news of both curricular and extra-curricular activities
through an organized, trained personnel of editors, assistant editors, news writers,
and reporters, features and standing columns include the editorials, "penn
pricks," "meanderin','' a humorous column by the feature editor, a section of the
paper devoted to sports by the sports editor, and "who's who " a column of
biographical descriptions of students on the campus.

• two years ago the paper was increased to full tabloid size, last year the editors
increased the news coverage through the use of smaller body-type throughout,
this year, aside from the improved type-face which included the adoption of
modern gothic head-line type, the staff machinery was greatly increased in size
and efficiency.

• clinton m. file, faculty adviser, and miss bernice orndorff, head of the english
department of the college assist the staff on all matters pertaining to the publica-
tion of the paper.

• the purposes of the paper are as follows: to select and train the best students
for the staff on the basis of former experience, executive ability, interest and
willingness to devote untiring efforts in making the paper successful, and an
average or better scholastic standing in the college; to focus attention on all
the activities of the college educational, athletic, and social; to create and
develop loyalty, school spirit, school patriotism; to foster leadership, initiative,
co-operation; to reflect, in so far as possible, student and faculty opinion; and to
inform parents, patrons and friends what the school stands for and what it
accomplishes.

young women's christian association • organized at the

state normal school, indiana, Pennsylvania, in 1897, the young women's christian
association has increased not only in numbers, but more important, in scope,
"we, the members of the young women's christian association, unite in the desire
to realize a full and creative life through a growing knowledge of god. we
determine to have a part in making this life possible for all people, in this task

we seek to understand jesus and follow him." this is the purpose by which this
development was guided.

• as a member of the national y.w.c.a., the local "y" became a part of a larger
organization, the student christian movement, in belonging to it, our scope is
not only national but international, through the world student christian federa-
tion, during the year, girls from Indiana attend conferences where many helpful
suggestions for the organization are received as well as much personal benefit
for the girls who are privileged to attend, this year the Indiana y.w.c.a. was
represented at the quadrennial convention at Indianapolis, indiana, during the
Christmas season.

• throughout the year the young women's christian association sponsors four
vesper services, "the burning altar," by ethel gesner rockwell, has become the
traditional thanksgiving vesper service of the college, pantomimes portraying
the easter story have been presented on palm Sunday for the last two years,
the other two vesper services vary in nature, as another part of its religous
activities, morning watch services are held each monday morning in the "y"
room, girls in this informal way receive a closer relationship with god and their
fellow men. special early morning services are held before the thanksgiving
and easter vacations with a local minister as the guest speaker.

• programs are planned and directed by students, scheduled every two weeks
this year carry a central theme "broadening horizons for the american girl."
in addition to the regular Wednesday night meetings many special programs
are held, one of the outstanding meetings of the year is the candlelight service
held at the close of the membership campaign, this is a service of induction
for the new members, participation in the white gift service of the christmas
season enables each girl to experience the joy of giving as she places her white
gift under the lighted christmas tree in recreation hall, these gifts may help to
make the holiday season a little happier for needy families in indiana.

• to express the social aim of the organization, teas, seasonal parties, and outings
are held, the teas, held every two weeks in the "y" room, foster a fine relation-
ship between faculty and students, in this way students have an opportunity to
meet informally the faculty guests, not only are members welcome, but non-
members as well, this year at the annual y.w.c.a. dinner the reverend mr.
Wilson of altoona, Pennsylvania, was the guest speaker.

• before freshmen arrive at indiana, they are acquainted with the organization
through the big and little sister movement, the "y" strives to make the first
weeks of school happier for students, by giving each freshman girl a big sister.

• other outstanding phases of the y.w.c.a. are the social service work done for
for the children at the orphan's home, and the loan fund, maintained to assist
worthy "y" members to remain in school, each year more deserving girls can
receive financial aid since the organization adds fifty dollars to the fund annually
and girls previously helped return their loans.

• following the election of officers in the spring, old and new cabinet with
faculty sponsors have a week-end retreat at the school lodge, a rejuvenated
feeling received from the quiet of nature aids in evaluating the old program and
planning the new.

newmdn cIuD • newman club was first organized on our campus by
miss mcgrath and the group of catholic students of 1927. its ideals are to foster
spiritual growth, to encourage high scholarship, to promote friendship, and to
stimulate whole-hearted co-operation in college activities, the present group
got acquainted at the school lodge last fall, following this was a hallowe'en
party in the junior high assembly room and a tea in the activities house, regular

meetings of a more serious nature were held each month, in february came the
high spot of the year, the formal dinner and party at rustic lodge, dr. foster,
jovial and good-naturedly laughing, at the head of the table, mrs. foster telling
irish fairy-tales to father james brady and later to the club in general, miss stew-
art, mrs. arntz, and miss mcgrath chatting with everyone, miss muldowney lead-
ing the songs, miss mclean and miss o'toole preventing dull moments, miss
knowles reciting poetry dedicated to the club, miss slaven always in the right
place at the right time, teaching seniors and cecelia kirk, our president, home
again, don litzinger, clever and witty, at the toastmaster's post, student's reviews
of activities and achievements of club members none of them will be forgotten,
a picnic at the lodge in may rounded out one of the most enjoyable and profitable
years known by the club.

y. m. C. d. • social-spiritual, that was the "y' "s program this year, the
annual get-together was held on the first Wednesday of the new school year to
acquaint freshmen with faculty and upper-classmen and to give everyone a
chance to talk vacations, dr. madden and mrs. gilland contributed to the spir-
itual phase of this set-up. after the edinboro football game on October 19, the
triangle dance was held with seventy-five couples present to celebrate the victory
of the afternoon, the steak fry with the usual run of songs, stories, steaks, and
jokes was held a week before thanksgiving, a very appropriate time, at the
vesper service of the first semester, Joseph jones spoke on "world brotherhood."

• through student leaders the organization stressed in its second semester
meetings the christian aspects of the aims and purposes of the y.m.c.a. the
faculty fireside was the main social event of the second semester, outside views
were brought into the meetings by dr. foster and mr. t. o. chew, participation
in conferences helped to keep alive and growing an interest in the christian
aspects of the y.m.c.a. platform.

the student council • four years ago a definite need was felt for
student participation in government at indiana. in response to this need dr.
foster presented to tfie student body of the college a plan for student government,
the constitution of which was prepared by several interested members of the
faculty.

• the aim of the organization is to promote in every way possible the best interest
of the college; to regulate all matters of student conduct which do not fall under
the jurisdiction of the faculty; and to maintain the ideals of the college by pre-
senting a means for students to express their opinions concerning the manage-
ment of student affairs.

• the constitution requires that the council be made up of four representatives
of the senior class, four from the junior class, three from the sophomore class, two
from the freshman class, the president of the women's resident student league,
and the president of the men's student league.

• this year the student council has attempted to center the school's activities on
the campus by extending the social hour on Saturday nights.

• to form closer contacts with other colleges, delegates chosen from the student
body are sent to the conferences of the Pennsylvania association of college
students and the eastern states association of professional schools for teachers.

co-operative association • the cooperative association Is the key
organization in the extra-curricular life of Indiana, the association Is a student-
faculty governing group composed of the fifteen members of the student council
and seven faculty members, the body was organized In 1933 and since that
time has had complete control over the collection and budgeting of student
activity fees and has supervised the co-operative book store.

• among the activities wholly or partly financed by the co-operative association
are college publications, the lecture program, representation at state and national
conferences, regular school dances and other social activities, and all phases of
sports for men and women, an accomplishment during the present term has
been the purchase of a student-owned bus to increase the availability of efficient
and economical transportation to Indiana's many currlcular and extra-curricular
groups, the purchase was made entirely from funds made available by the
students themselves, either from their activity fees or through their patronage of
the book store, all upkeep costs are to be included in the budget of the co-
operative association.

the don cossacks

• the don cossacks, former
officers in the russian im-
perial army, were under the
leadership of serge jaroff,
who directed his chorus of
thirty-six voices with military
precision, never before have
we heard choral singing quite
so remarkable.

leonard litGrary society • ieonard hterary society offers her mem-
bers a widely varied program consisting of three types of dramatic presentation
— professional, amateur, and a semi-professional (the college play).

• professional talent brings programs filled with cultural value, this year jasper
deeter and his hedgrow players, edwin markham, and ted shawn and his
ensemble of men dancers brought the cultural, among the notables of recent
years are alfred noyes, ruth draper, admiral richard e. byrd, george russell,
Cornelia otis skinner, the abbey players, and carl sandburg. it is with pleasure
that leonard literary announces the miriam winslow players as next season's
opening.

ted shawn • tedshawn
and his ensemble of men
dancers were presented this
year for the second time by
the leonard Hterary society,
the program was a series of
dance groups which blended
into a single unit depicting in
vivid outline the development
of that oldest of the arts the
dance from primitive times
up to and perhaps beyond
today.

hedgerow theatre

• the hedgerow players, un-
der the direction of jasper
deeter, presented eugene
o'neill's "beyond the horizon"
at an evening performance,
the hedgerow theatre gives
actors a chance to be creative
artists, since its founding in
1923, it has been the guiding
example of many other little
theatre groups in the united
states.

attraction, miss winslow studied for eight years in the dennis-shawn school
before beginning her creative work, so warmly was mr. shawn received al
both his performances here, we are sure his former pupil and her dancers wilt
receive the same generous ovation.

• amateur night (minus the gong) is held every monday night in the college
auditorium, english activities classes with the assistance of miss sprowls
select, direct, and enact one-act plays tragedies, (many of these) comedies,
and fantasies, the quality of the presentations are rated by student committees
(cheer up, freshmen even a Cornell would forget lines before such critical
eyes).

• for you would-be Cornells and hamptons there is the three-act leonard lit play,
this semi-amateur, semi-professional performance is presented each year by a
group of selected students, so "round your vowels" and "clip short your
consonants" and perhaps you will rate a role in the next college play.

• "the romantic age," a sophisticated comedy, was presented (english accent
and all) this year, stunning clothes, subtle wit, and a too handsome leading
man all made for a delightful evening's entertainment.

# the a capella choir

the a Cappella choir • it has been the objective of the choir to intensity
the joy of hearing as well as singing the highest type of a cappella music.

• already trained in the technique of voice, the individual learns the art of
subordination to a dominant purpose, not only are the technical aspects of tone,
rhythm, enunciation, and phrasing dealt with, but emotional training, so vital to
real Interpretation, is stressed.

• the singers have had wide experience in choral literature, embracing com-
positions of early polyphonic school, the classic period, and modern groups of
russian, english, and scotch composers, the choir moves with sureness and
sensitivity from simple folk music, negro spiritual, and frolicsome madrigal, to
the intensity of great sacred choral music, the organization has had the pleasure
of presenting several concerts in this area.

• the orchestra

the college symphony orchestra • "listen to a unison a first"

• "let's set on together now" . . .

• and so . . .

• "the college orchestra begins to sound" from the dainty delicacy of a gavotte,
to the sweeping, ruthless, crashing fortissimos of the "dance of the wild men,"
and "eloquent" baton leads our orchestra through dynamic, rhythmic and color-
istic interpretations of bach, ravel, mozart, handel, Schumann, goldmark, schu-
bert, beethoven, rimsky-korsakov wide is the repertoire of this organization -
expressive are its interpretations definite is the feeling of ensembles working
together with acutely attuned ears but most important is the satisfaction of
knowing that weeks of work on private technique as well as in ensemble have
produced excellent programs -

• in concert this spring bach's "a mighty fortress is our god" (choral prelude)
(transcription by waiter damrosch)

• mozart's jupiter symphony -allegro vivace, andante cantabile, minuet and
molto allegro.

• the ballet music from the opera prince igor by borodin — andantino, dance of
the slave maidens, dance of the wild men, dance of the archers.

• rimsky-korsakov's danse lithuaniane and

• goldmark's call of the plains.

• the band

tnG band • the band was there ... all the time . . . football games
, . . while people cheered or did not cheer. ... in snow — rain . . . when
enthusiasm was lacking . . . there were concert programs . . . you will
remember long the concert on the campus on graduation day . . . sun shining
through tall trees on the instruments -blinding the onlookers . . . the shadows
of the trees making queer pictures and shadings . . . the seniors marching on-
and-on . . . more shadows . . . more marching to elgar's "pomp and cir-
cumstance" . . . there were assembly programs . . . stirring marches, stately
overtures, tone poems medleys . . . "every monday afternoon at four"— the
members practice in room cl5 in the conservatory . . . the tall gracious person
at the conductor's stand is mr. stitt, of orchestra fame also. . . . one tap of his
baton a commanding look . . . the band is ready . . . the results — we have
heard —the results we like.

• the vesper choir

the vesper choir • each sunday evening under the bright hanging
hghts of the chapel a group of white-vested singers walk rhythmically toward
the stage, it is the vesper hour, with its strange peace and beauty, with its
quiet reverence and devotion, the singers fill it with music with rising surges
of music, or low breaths dying away into the soundless gold pipes of the organ
behind them.

• by this white-robed choir, singing in dim candle-light the christmas songs and
carols of all nations, we are taken to the hills of the town of bethlehem, to the
cradle of the christ-child. with power and sincerity they touch the humility and
the sense of awakening and life that make the eastertide both joyful and sorrow-
fiUed.

• when we meet them at any other time, they are just ordinary first and second
year music students or perhaps students from other departments who have been
accepted because of their ability to sing, but on Sunday evenings they lose their
individual personalities and gain whatever personality our imagination and
fancy give them as they swing along the song-filled aisle of the chapel.

the men's glee club • "there is not any music of instruments what-
soever, comparable to that which is made of the voyces of men, where the voyces
are good, and the same well sorted and ordered."

• this comment written by william byrd in 1588 still adequately explains not
only the existence of the men's glee club, but its intrinsic nature and magnetic
appeal as well, the men's glee club calls together men from all departments for
a wanted musical and social development, under miss borge's efficient direc-
tion a repertoire of the best in men's choral music is presented and musically
interpreted for the wholesome enjoyment of both the members of the organiza-
tion and the audiences to which they sing.

• the men's glee club displays its powers in a wide variety of programs, two
appearances were made in vesper services, first in a full concert, and later as a
musical background for the burning altar "pageant." this organization is also an
essential element in bringing about the spirit of the annual christmas party, the
custom of a joint spring concert with the lyric choir inaugurated last year was
continued this year by a combined concert of the two choral groups on april 21.

lyric choir • hark! where is that lovely sound coming from? the
answer is, "the lyric choir," composed of forty-five girls from all departments,
under the capable and enthusiastic direction of miss lillie b. held.

• it has been organized for four years with the express purpose of giving music-
loving girls an opportunity to voice their enthusiasm in song, many participate
not only for the love of singing, but for the opportunity of cultivating pleasant
speaking voices, through conscientious effort the girls learn to blend their
voices beautifully, for two years the choir has collaborated with the men's glee
club in the presentation of a concert.

• with increased love and appreciation of music, the lyric choir will undoubt-
edly grow to many times its present size.

• "there are songs in the soul of every man. some have many; some have
few. but consciously or unconsciously there is a deep-seated desire in all of
us to express something which can be expressed only in music." william h.
woodin.

• the music club

the music club • the conservatory, as every one knows, is situated
above the dining-room, the various weird and unseemly sounds that issue from
the "music box," as it is jocosely termed, are the results of earnest and intelligent
work, although provoking many well-meant jibes.

• the club members, strongly united in interests and aims, have chosen harold
buchheit, president, and william cramer secretary-treasurer.

• two dates out of each year are kept open by all for the two annual social
functions, the club picnic and the banquet, the picnic, held in the fall, denotes
a new beginning, new friends, and fresh resolutions; but the banquet in the
spring, while it brings the most lively and good-natured fun of the year, also
brings an undercurrent of thoughtfulness. it might be added that the club owes
this fun-fest to the kindness of dr. foster, each year we are proud to have as our
guests mr. claude rosenberry, state director of music, and mrs. rosenberry.
recreation hall is the scene of an all-round tour of the world, personally conducted
by miss borge. the freshmen, poor lambs, are meekly driven to performing, to
the intense amusement of the crowd, particularly the upperclassmen. then
there are the performances of the class groups, followed by the grand march to

junior chamber of commerce • so that all junior chamber of
commerce members might participate in the election, they were grouped accord-
ing to their respective counties, each party proposed a slate and a platform,
at conventions, colorful with banners, posters, flags, and campaign speeches,
the numerous county parties consolidated into two parties, both parties held
rallies; there they tried to convince the electorate of their pre-eminent fitness for
the offices, the election, which always occurs on the actual national election
day, was most important, the successful candidates promised to promote inter-
ested activity in departmental affairs; to encourage the students to broaden their
interests by completely informing themselves on vital, current topics; and to
stimulate the members to rely on their own ingenuity for amusement, our sol-
emnly beautiful inauguration fittingly climaxed the feverish activity of the elec-
tion, the new officers pledged themselves to honorably discharge their duties.

the home economics department • parties, hikes, entertain-
ments, plays these constituted a few of the activities of the home economics
department this year.

• through the monthly assembly, many girls gained experience and had the
enjoyment of planning and carrying out programs which could be used in
junior and senior high school work.

• situations in barnesboro, blairsville, elders ridge, Indiana, and Johnstown high
schools became more real to the faculty of our department as they made visits
to these various teaching centers during the year, teaching seniors do have
their problems, and it is exactly for this reason that the college faculty wish to
know how they may help them to overcome difficulties more easily, it is also a
satisfaction to know that college subjects actually can be converted into activities
of high school level.

• dr. benjamin andrews, professor of household economics, Columbia university,
superintendent dale mc masters of Johnstown public schools, and dr. richard
madden of the college psychology department were the outstanding speakers
who helped to enrich the annual home economics conference held march twenty-

first, the purpose of the conference was to bring together center supervisors,
student teachers and, teachers in the home economics field to discuss "contribu-
tions for successful teaching."

• what girl doesn't like to don her prettiest gown and go to a dinner-dance?
this opportunity is given the freshmen and sophomores each year at their special
party in the fall.

• will anyone doubt that ninety-five girls can have unlimited fun dressing up,
pretending, playing games and especially doing something for less fortunate
folks? if you had peeked in on that christmas party where everyone was por-
traying a character in "bird's christmas carol" and competing for package
wrapping prizes, you would have wished to join immediately, we hope these
toys, clothes, jewelry, scarfs, gloves and other remodeled and renovated articles
helped make many happier christmases among the needy of Indiana.

• may was properly ushered in with the traditional may day breakfast in the
department.

» as a final wind-up of the year's affairs, the junior-senior merry-go, a formal
dance, was held in our improvised recreation rooms.

• a lovely candelabrum, to be used in initiation services, an old spinning wheel,
and a leather-bound manuscript book for the history of our department are some
useful and valuable additions purchased by the club.

• prospects for the graduating class this year look bright, last year the entire
class of twenty-four were placed in teaching positions, and they have made the
acquaintance of a follow-up teacher.

the campus, we are temperamental, idiosyncratic, to the defense! are we
not all individuals seeking outlets in forms of self-expression? the club func-
tions as a combination of social, aesthetic, and educational interests, art
students and faculty automatically become members.

• at the fall outing our wide-eyed freshmen ushered in the last year for the
solemn-faced seniors and, as usual, furnished the amusement, at our next
meeting miss jean r. mcelhaney showed us pictures of our department in its
embryonic stages, then followed the art conference with "art in utility" as
our theme, then the seniors gave their farcical take-offs on old and modern
masters cork-blackened faces, masks of innocence, all took on animation,
cold cream to the rescue! next, mr. alfred wilner and miss marjorie hanson
led a forum on "revision of the constitution." social-science juniors and seniors
and members of the i.r.c. were our guests, then followed in educational vein
"what i desire in a teacher" by mr. frank s. jackson, superintendent of the
punxsutawney schools, who vividly voiced requisites for teachers, our grand
and illustrious sophomores, with music sophomores as guests, came next to the
front, offering us a play, may 15 sad-eyed seniors took their last fling — music,
confetti, dancing- studio party and farewell!

• at the hnal meeting the jean r. mcelhaney medal for excellence in fine arts
was awarded.

with grace and winsomeness, these girls, quite transformed, in long dresses, plus
some of the choicest young men of the college, daintily balance a cup of tea in
one hand, a cake in the other and gossip at an afternoon tea dance.

txie SCl-ni ClUD • when you see mr. emmert and two or three feminine
science majors buying rolls, hamburg, and coffee at the a. & p. tea company
store, you may suspect that jack steetle has successfully advocated "another
feed" for the sci-hi club, to confirm your suspicions look in leonard hall for a
poster with a 15c sign in the upper right-hand corner and some curious hiero-
glyphics scattered below.

• occasionally the members control their appetites long enough to have a
professional meeting, which is usually in charge of one of the major subject
groups, this year the biology group sponsored a lecture on "falconry" by
kenneth terres and a lantern-slide talk on "nature photography" by dr. smyth.
two home economics girls co-operated with three science majors to explain
"synthetic chemistry" as the subject offered by the chemistry group, the physics
group was responsible for a description of "public address systems" by mr.
oerlein, and a presentation of the subject, "man, mechanics, and mathematics,"
by four physics students, mr. iams represented the geology group by an account
of his experiences in a mountain summer school in Colorado.

• the big event of the year is the annual science education conference held at

hailed dr. j. russell smith, noted author and geographer, at its conference in
October, dr. smith, unique among scientific men, presented "the geography of
some current national problems." when he discussed soil conservation and
flood control, little did we know just how apropos of Pennsylvania he spoke.

• this conference included also a panel on elementary school geography led
by miss clara shryock, assistant superintendent of the cambria county schools;
group conferences in each of the grades three to eight, and a panel on secondary
school and adult levels of geographic education.

• a professional meeting in march concerned problems which the geography
teachers in our service area have been forced to meet in their own schools.

• at both meetings tools, especially texts, other geographic books, pictures,
maps, and specimens were displayed, standards were set up for the selection
and use of these tools as functional in modern geographic concept-building.

• to balance these professional interests in the more serious aspects of geography
and education, the geography majors proved themselves professional steak-
eaters at two outings, one in the fall to celebrate the harvest of plenty (plenty of
steak) and the other a spring shower, literally that, for their newly-married spon-
sor, mrs. erna grassmuck gUland.

phases of mathematics, its secondary aim is to provide social contacts among
those who have this common interest.

germany as they found it from their observation; a presentation of the applications
of mathematics in every day life; a survey of the requirements at fifteen leading
universities for graduate work in mathematics; and discussions of trends in

college demolay club • demolay dub has attained in the social life
of the campus a unique position which we claim arises from the fact that our
club remained unperturbed by the prosaic activities usual to student organiza-
tions and devoted itself to activity of a higher sphere, in harmony with the trend
of the times demolay club undertook the policy common to modern nations,
internal reorganization.

• deliberations and conferences among small groups of members, a formal
meeting, election of officers on the obvious platform that there would be none
of the inferred absurdities of formality, and we were re-organized, the rest of
our activity for the year was the informal meeting of two or more members or
former members of demolay on the campus and the subsequent philosophic
discourses upon the pardonable subjects of interest to men.

• our sponsor, mr. Johnson, because of illness which kept him from his work, was
unable to act in the capacity, whereupon, mr. t. o. chew kindly took over the
role and helped us to again achieve our aim of promoting demolay ideals

tary for the intercollegiate council on public affairs, who definitely raises the
level of dogmatic thinkers to that of intelligent questioners through fair and
forceful words, the currently related subject of "dictators, demagogues and

the college life-saving club • is a unit of that organization which
has proved itself to be a real help to all men in time of distress namely the
american red cross.

• "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" - with this motto in mind
we see that the life-saving clubs are not organized solely to aid in cases of acci-
dents but mainly to teach people how to take care of themselves and others when
near or in the water.

• at the regular monthly meetings, the members of the life-saving club practice
life-saving techniques, this year a new type of program was installed, each
member of the club taught the rest some phase of liie-saving. through the
helpful guidance of the faculty members the group has been able to practice
the newest methods of rescue work.

• life-savers, like other people, do not work all the time, and many hilarious
times are enjoyed during the meetings through recreational games and refresh-
ments.

• april twenty-second was the date when the spring life-saving pageant was
given to show the members of our campus that our public needs to be educated
in this work.

swim where they obtained instruction in water-front protection and the use of

panhelleniC association • two groups of girls, now known as theta
sigma upsilon and pi delta theta, late last year began to beat a tattoo on the door
of sorority life; thus, the panhellenic organization of i.s.t.c. has for the first the
entire roll of the a.e.s.

• freshmen do not for long remain unaware of these social-educational groups,
"looked over" at a tea dance, these youngest of college co-eds, half-frightened,
half-surprised, await the approval of the more sophisticated sisters.

• epitomizing sisterly love, all groups hail each other at the one big social event
of the year the panhellenic dance.

• then on to that ever-interesting three weeks rush season, hair-pulling, dirt-
slinging, past records all inch slightly in an otherwise important mark of new
friendships and new goals.

• again joining hands, all participate in the final installation service, when school
authorities commend the sororities on the worthwhileness and uplifting aims
that constitute their life and function on the campus.

Sigma Sigma Sigma • since the founding of alpha chapter at farm-
ville, Virginia, in 1898, the purpose of sigma sigma sigma, "to build character,
to stimulate high endeavor, to develop leadership, to promote unselfish co-opera-
tion, and to create the friendly spirit in all human relationships," has been
furthered by the work of thirty-three chapters, in October, kmbda, along with
other chapters of the sorority in Pennsylvania, west Virginia, and new york
attended the regional meet in Pittsburgh, successful to the greatest cegrea
possible, the convention sent the delegates home inspired by mabel lee walton's
vision for bigger plans and enthusiastic for a better sorority year, the pledge
party, given at christmas time, was the work of originality and clever planning;
the evening's entertainment culminated in "a dickens of a christmas carol."
at the first professional meeting miss bernice orndorff spoke on the university
of Cambridge, using her moving pictures of this institution, she also included
pictures of literary and religious shrines, for the second meeting mr. wilbur
emmert showed pictures taken on his trip to the west indies, this year's rushing
season netted the sum of eleven new pledges: fae paul, joan stone, frances
mottey, harriet wright, jean davis, betty mae kanable, kathleen simpson, betty
kiel, jean kensinger, martha bowman, and betty jevens. a formal dinner for
these coming lambdas march 18, at the college inn, preceded an animated panel
discussion, the themes for a series of these professional discussions are sent
from national headquarters, this year's founders day dinner was held april 18.
the mothers were invited to join this formal tribute to the founders of sigma sigma

• at any hour, on any spot
of indiana's campus, one is
apt to hear the pi kap call,
and the rainiest day of the
year was the day with
high spirits undaunted
that the pi kaps chose to go
"waffle and baconing" at
rustic lodge!

• other social events included founders' day banquet, and panhellenic dance,
second semester brought rushing with two elegant parties, initiation banquet
was in february with our annual senior farewell party ending the social season
in may.

• in developing the professional aspect of sorority life, talent within our group
was used in an amusing episode on what riot to do in public places, mrs.
marjorie renz, grand vice-president, was the guest of zeta in October while on an
inspection tour, she interviewed officers and members, and attended local
panhellenic meetings, while she was here, pi kappa sigma held a formal initia-
tion and a model pledging, panhellenic association entertained at an informal
tea. guests were the sponsors and presidents of indiana's seven sororities,
second semester mrs. hall blair reviewed jane austen in a most interesting way.
in april the sorority girls discussed the cosmetic racketeers who do real damage
to the american girl's purse strings, —which was even better than "one hundred
million guinea pigs."

• our pride and joy, the zetian, published this spring for the fourth time, is a
magazine edited by the group, which included the year's activities, local and
alumnae news.

• indiana pi kaps are proud of zeta chapter, the embodiment of our aims and
ideals is found in william henry channing's "my symphony."

alpha sigs." you certainly have heard the rest of this melody being sung by
some loyal member of alpha sigma alpha.

• it was with a friendly spirit and a four-fold purpose that alpha sigma alpha
had its beginning in the state norma! school, farmville, Virginia, in 1901. it
continued to grow until 1914 when the social sorority reorganized and became
a member of the association of education sororities, alpha sigma alpha and
sigma sigma sigma were charter members of this new organization, in 1928
alpha sigma alpha and three other sororities were reinstated on the Indiana
campus, each year has broadened the a.s.a. outlook and enlarged her activities
on the campus.

• get-together parties in the fall were happy times in the life of an alpha sig.
then founders' day was the important event of the year professional meetings,
patroness parties, social service work, the christmas party, and the panhellenic
dance were other red letter days of first semester.

• national sorority test, and activities of rushing season ushered in the second
semester, the year's program included other professional and social meetings;
also definite plans were made by the alpha sigs to meet in august at breezy-point,
minnesota, for national sorority conference.

txietd Sigmd Upsilon. • theta sigma upsilon, national education so-
rority, originated with the organization of sigma society at state teachers college,
emporia, kansas, in 1909. development into alpha chapter of theta sigma upsilon
was fostered by m. birdell bartley, now mrs. mueller, and francis hashbarger in
1915. in 1921, alpha chapter of theta sigma upsilon was installed.

• the installation of pi chapter on the Indiana campus occurred with pledging
on april 15, 1935, and with formal initiation on September 27, 1935, at which
mrs. m. birdell mueller, national president, officiated with the assistance of the
following national officers: mrs. muriel frehsee, editor; miss margaret waterman,
secretary; and miss ruth waterman, business manager, immediately after
initiation a formal banquet was held at the college inn where mrs. mueller
presented pi chapter with the charter for the new group.

• during the past year rabbi stollman gave an address, "biblical analysis of
theory and practice," at a professional meeting, a council fire, presided over
by a great chief, revealed originality and humor in unique contributions, a weird
sunrise Indian dance with rhythmic tom-toms and a major bowes radio program
featuring shy singers and amusing poets, other socal functions included a
nautical shipboard party previous to a formal dinner dance at the country club
for rushees. on march 28 new members were entertained at a founders day
banquet in the college inn. the varied activities for this year culminated in
the celebration of rose day on may 25. the members of all chapters of theta
sigma upsilon are looking forward to attending the national convention to be
held this summer at Colorado springs.

intramural board of control
Saunders, boyts, prugh, hess, miller

intrdmurdiS • the intramural program as now organized was set up and
put into operation in the fall of 1932. the range of sports under this program
meets the diverse interests and capacities of a large group of boys in school who
are not endowed physically to meet the keener competition of the more formalized
activities of the college athletic program, all intramural sports are under the
supervision of the intramural board of control, russell owens, business educa-
tion department, was elected intramural manager the spring of 1935 and acted
in that capacity during the first semester of the 1935-36 term, at which time
glenn hess, secondary education, was elected to the position. John dailey,
business education '38, is the assistant manager for the second semester, mr.
paul boyts is director of intramural sports.

• briefly stated, the aims of the intramural program for men at indiana are: to
prepare boys to organize and promote intramural, or inter-class sports in public
schools; to teach boys who are not particularly athletically inclined the funda-
mentals and rules of sports which would fit into the intramural programs of the
elementary and secondary schools; to teach and train students in those athletic
activities in which they could participate in after-school life as a profitable use
of leisure; athletics for present enjoyment and improvement of health.

• the plan as worked out by the board of control provides for a complete program
of fall, winter., and spring activities, the only material awards of this program
are: a general participation certificate, an efficiency award and an honor award,
the certificates will be awarded to those boys who have participated in a pre-
scribed minimum of activities. these certifiates will be based on three years
of participation, and the minimum of activities will be low enough to give all
boys an opportunity to receive one without interference with more formalized

activities on the college athletic program,
the efficiency award, an emblem, will be
given to boys who meet the requirements for
a participation certificate and who, in addi-
tion, have served as sports manager or
assistant and have passed satisfactorily
examinations on the rules and general knowl-
edge of a minimum of four sports.

that this publication goes to press early in the
spring several of the later spring sports must
necessarily appear in the publication of the
year following.

been held in check by ole man winter for a
rather long period of time, the racket wielders
looked forward with a great deal of en-
thusiasm and pent-up skill to the intramural

class "a" doubles tournament with his partner
max gordon, but they were unsuccessful in
their series of matches with ling and angus,
which gave the latter pair the crown in the
doubles.

• the classb singles tournament, although not
quite as fast as the higher division, produced
many interesting and close matches, perschetti
easily triumphed over glenn hess to rule this
class until the following fall.

spring horseshoes • carl byers,

winner of the horseshoe singles championship
in the fall of '35, lost none of his uncanny
sharpshooting skill in repeating his skillful
feat again in the spring, he topped max
dick, also a wicked wielder of the iron hoofs,
to become the champion of the barnyard
pastime, this sport drew the applications of
approximately forty men.

• the Sigma tau gamma fraternity won its first championship when it scored
an easy victory over the phi sigma pi fraternity to win the all-campus mush ball
championship, the taus came through a fast field including such notable
opposition as the phi alph nine, the phi sig team, and a team made up of the
combined talents of the four cottages, the phi sigs earned the right to oppose
the sig tau outfit by trouncing the phi alph "mushers." two games in the
same afternoon were just too much for the sigs. the members of the cham-

touch football

• immediately after disposing
of tennis and liorseshoes,
touch football, a new and
fascinating sport, was intro-
duced to the campus and oc-
cupied the intramural spot-
light for a few weeks, the
game of touch football is
unique in that it supplies the
thrills and excitement of real
football only on a more mild
scale, everything is done as in
football except for one thing
no tackling of the ball car-
rier is permitted. instead of
tackling, a player must tag the
body of the man with the
ball with two hands be-
low the shoulders. rough
tactics in tagging with two hands may be penalized by the officials as unsports-
manlike conduct, this sport met with great enthusiasm, approximately seventy-
six men made up the rosters of six teams, the booters had easy sailing
throughout the tournament, emerging at the end of a five-game schedule with
all wins against no blemishes, the standing of teams follows:

the fall tennis tournament
came in for its just share of
attention, the tennis tourna-
ment was divided into two
classes class "a" for those
who are more experienced
with the racket and class "b"
for those who are not quite as
experienced as the class "a"
entrants, the championship
fell to one blair matejczyk, a
newcomer to the campus,
matejczyk battled burke in the
final game and vanquished
his worthy rival.
• the class "b" singles tourna-
ment provided almost as much
action as did the more experienced group, in number, the class "b" group
surpassed the class a group by one, numbering twenty, when the dust had
cleared after the matches, two men richard seifert and max gordon were
qualihed to enter the playoff, gordon triumphed over seifert after a close and
interesting battle and earned the right to be dubbed the class "b" champion.

intramural basketball • when the entries for the intramural basket-
ball league were counted on november 9. manager owens found that fourteen
teams tendered their contracts with the names of 181 men. the teams are
coached by varsity basketball players, who put their basketeers through a period
of practice sessions, at which time the more fundamental iloor plays and center
plays are taught, at the finis of the intramural basketball tournament three
teams, the secondary eds, the phi sigs, and the phi alphs, were tied for first
place with eleven wins against two losses, this necessitated a play-off series,
the phi sigs were fortunate in drawing a bye, while the phi alphs had to meet
the secondary eds. in this game, the secondary eds showed their mettle by
eking out a 22-18 victory over the phi alphs. this set the stage for the final and
championship game between the phi sigs and the secondary eds. in a game
played as a preliminary to the st. vincent-indiana varsity game the secondary
education team defeated the phi sigma pi team for the intramural basketball
championship but only after the game went into two hectic, extra periods,
this championship game rivaled in action the varsity game which was played
that same evening, the secondary eds in defeating the phi sigs for the cham-
pionship broke the phi sigs' string of two championshios, 1934 and 1935. the
score was secondary education 32 to phi sigma pi's 31 "red" mcdowell

in3.y Cldy • on may 1, 1935, the daily bulletin contained the following notice:
"students will be excused from classes from ten o'clock to twelve during which
time no one is to remain in the buildings, please wear sports clothes." every-
where were students laughing, talking, and playing, peppy music filled the air.
above this cheerful din, a voice gave directions for the games, each sport
was managed by a student who handed every person an official-looking paper
on which were listed the various sports to be evaluated according to the athletic
prowess of those participating, to get the highest score was everyone's aim as
group after group moved from volley-ball and tennis serving to basketball
throwing and croquet, and finally to the wooden horses, this last sport
drew crowds who thoroughly enjoyed the loud shrieks of the girls as they
endeavored to place very carefully one dainty foot in front of the other, all too
soon the twelve o'clock whistle blew!

• at seven o'clock student body and some of the faculty gathered on the athletic
field to wind the may poles, round and round they danced; in and out they
went, holding a brightly colored streamer in one hand, dancing continued on
the green until darkness forced the groups to disband with a carefree spirit of
youth pervading the twilight atmosphere.

WOmenS athletic association • upon enrolUng in indiana state
teachers college every woman student is automatically a member of the women's
athletic association, this is an organization with recreational sports as its basis,
class credits or w.a.a. points are granted for participation in the many sports
offered during the year, or one may enter merely for the fun and recreation of
the activity itself, four sport days were planned for the end of each quarter
with grove city, pitt, and slippery rock, the winning team in the intramural
contest was the group that participated in the sport day for that quarter, on
november 9 slippery rock was the hostess for the hockey game, two teams
from indiana participated in this game, the volley-ball play day was held in
indiana on January 17. teams were present from grove city and slippery rock,
for the basketball sports day the winning team went to pitt. on april 25 Cali-
fornia had a play day, and slippery rock held a swimming meet in may. this
plan encourages greater participation in intramural sports and gives the winning
team an opportunity to enjoy one game with another college, opportunities to
be hostess to visiting teams, and in turn be guests, provide desirable educational
advantages, in the fall the w.a.a. council was entertained by an outing at the
school lodge, three parties were held during the year one at the close of each
quarter, at the athletic banquet eight girls were awarded the varsity "i". to
receive this the girl must earn a thousand points and have those characteristics
necessary for excellent sportsmanship, girls earning two hundred points
receive their numerals and with each additional two hundred a chevron.

who swim during the
free dip periods "just

the ones in the regu-
lar beginning or in-
termediate classes,
life-saving instruction
by miss bowles leads
to the red cross life-

club has been formed,
and it is hoped that a
number will avail themselves of the splendid opportunity to join such an organi-
zation.

• this year marked the event of the first co-ed intramural swimming meet in the
college pool, although the girls did not compete with the boys, they participated
in like events, these were the 20-yard free style, 20-yard breast stroke, 20-yard
back stroke, 40-yard free style, plunges for distance, and diving.

• this sport of fencing, the
pastime of knights and nobles,
is ever popular at indiana.
skillful fencing requires the
highest degree of co-ordina-
tion of both mind and muscle,
as such it is a challenge to the
participant's ability, skill in
this sport was developed by
mr. saunders in a class of
about twenty-five which in-
cluded both boys and girls, at the end of the nine weeks a tournament was
held, each "duel" lasting for three minutes, this sport is followed as a hobby by
many, unlike some other institutions, which are able to afford fencing only to
those few who can afford to purchase their own costly equipment, this school
can guarantee full equipment to all class members, plus excellent, expert
instruction.

• basketball has been such a favorite at indiana that classes are offered for
both beginners and advanced players, it is played in the two winter quarters,
in both the winter quarters basketball tournaments were carried on with much
enthusiasm, losers, as well as winners, enjoyed the games, the first quarter
champions received only the joy of winning, but the second quarter champs
were rewarded with a trip to Pittsburgh to play at the university of Pittsburgh in
competition with other
schools. incidentally, they
won two out of three games
played there, jane hutchison
was the captain of this win-
ning team, made up of com-
muters and day students, the

joyed the spirit and competi-
tion of the tournament as

ter was the sport day, with
Indiana as the hostess and grove
city and slippery rock the guests,
the girls who represented indi-
ana were the two winning teams
chosen from a class tournament,
the officials of the game were
girls from indiana who were
interested in this sport. after the games a dip in the college pool and a tour
of the campus were on the program, a steak dinner at the lodge, a short enter-
tainment, and dancing were the finishing touches for a perfect day. the results
of the games were of little importance since the purpose of the playday is to give
the girls an opportunity to meet and play with girls of other colleges.

• the participants in the volleyball classes, taught by miss ellenberger, in the
third quarter missed the privilege of playing with the other schools, but they
knew the joy of playing the game and received all the benefits that can be
derived from this game, volleyball has always been one of the key intramural
sports for the girls of indiana.

• golf is an ever increasingly popular sport
among the physical education electives.
this year it was offered both in the fall and in
the spring, since there is no course on the
indiana campus, most of the time is spent in
perfecting form, the number of times the
ball is missed is often surprising, golf, as a
sport, is an excellent exercise because it is
played in the open air; it makes use of many
muscles in the swing, and it involves a great
deal of walking.

girls in an informal way. hikes were held in the fall and spring of the year, and
trips into the woods about indiana were enjoyed by those attending.

tennis manager mary jane mc intosh

• that more and more people are becoming interested in tennis is shown by the
crowded tennis classes, the fall season opened with a tennis tournament con-

the football squad

• when the 1935 Indiana state teachers college football squad donned its
moleskins preparatory to the forthcoming intercollegiate gridiron skirmishes, it
was more than convinced that before the season came to a close it would have
fought eight major battles.

• little did this group of stalwart warriors suspect what the future had in store
for them; but of this they were sure, that each of the eight opponents was out for

blood, and would push itself
to the limit to dethrone the
indians from the high position to
which they rocketed as a result
of the undefeated and untied
record of the red and slate team
during the previous season.

• for nine preceding years had
Indiana's varsity football men-
tor, coach george p. miller,
assembled his boys for the open-
ing workouts, but never before
had he such a remarkable pre-
cedent to view as the accomp-
lishment of his 1934 eleven.

prugh

woodring

170

• in this, his tenth season, he
found that geneva college of
beaver falls, Pennsylvania, was
listed as the first game w/ith only
about two weeks to mold a team
from the remnants of the mighty
undefeated squad.

• this task, however, was far from
displeasing, for after eliminating
last year's seniors, there still ap-
peared outstanding names such as
marshall woodring, the backbone
of Indiana athletic teams for the
past three years; harold fulton;
woodring's accomplished mate;
franklin george; kenneth greene;
frederick tomb; charles beretta;
harold errigo; max dick; george
hay; ralph kelley; donald king;
earl kohler; edward mc dowell; and
edward vokes, as well as numerous
satellites who were yet to shine.

• so the evening of September 27, ^^ead coach george miUer
1935, found the miller-coached aggregation under the arcs of reeves stadium
anxiously waiting for the initial kick-off of the season.

• even the steady drizzle of rain, which had started earlier in the day, failed to
dampen the hopes of the Indiana gridders, and they entered the game as decid-
ed under-dogs, but fought like men during every minute of the tussle.

• being out-weighed and at a disadvantage due to inexperience at night foot-
ball, the Indians were forced to play a defensive game, but asserted their
offensive power several times almost to the point of upsetting the dope and
triumphing over the highly touted covenanters.

• only through woodring's unusually effective punting were the Indians able
to thwart successive scoring threats staged by the genevans during the first half,
in fact the one and only score of the evening came in the third quarter when a
fifteen-yard penalty placed the ball on the Indiana fifteen-yard line, from
where lobinger, geneva end, succeeded in crossing the coveted goal stripe
on his second attempt, this put Indiana on the trailing end of a six-to-nothing
score which later proved to be the final result of the contest.

• if lose they must, it would not be without
hghting. so woodring nabbed a geneva
punt and raced the ball down to the oppo-
nents' three-yard line, here a fumble by
one of indiana's backs extinguished the
last hope of a possible victory, indiana
lost six to nothing, but with no disgrace,
for before the curtain was rung down on
the 1935 football season, the geneva
college convenanters were acclaimed as
the class "b" tri-state college champions.

• undaunted by the unsuccessful result of
the geneva opener, coach miller drove his
charges through a week of strenuous
practice and then shipped the squad to
clinton county where they lined up against
a powerful lockhaven state teachers col-
lege eleven.

• although coming very close to it on
several occasions, the havenites had never
experienced the thrill of defeating an
indiana football outfit, the old saying that
history repeats itself failed to hold true,
for before the day was over, lock haven
marched off the field with a convincing
27 to 0 victory over a red and slate team
that was yet to score that fall.

• there was no questioning the fact that
lock haven had the better team on the
field that day. only one touchdown was
scored during the first half, but indiana's
resistance was soon lowered to the point
where the home team had it much its own
way during the last two frames, making it
possible for this well-earned victory.

• two games had been played, but the
indiana gridders were yet to taste the
pleasure of a win. slippery rock, bitter
opponent of red and slate athletic teams for
many years, was scheduled to open the
home season for the redmen before a
homecoming crowd.

• annually, since 1927, the followers of the
red and slate would hit their peak of

enthusiasm at the coming of the slippery
rock tilt, and in every instance the result
proved the same indiana's spirited attack
was crushed by the high-powered physical
ed boys, after a two-year lapse of football
relations with the rockets, Indiana again
matched its strength with that team hoping
against hope that slippery rock's domina-
tion over indiana's football teams would
be snapped.

• this remote dream was finally realized
when in the dying moments of this exceed-
ingly well-played game harold errigo
place-kicked a field goal from the twelve-
yard line to credit the local team with a
3 to 0 decision; the first victory of the
season, as well as the long-awaited repul-
sion of slippery rock supremacy.

• in this game indiana lost its aggressive
little guard, omar menoher, who suffered a
crushed vertebra. though he took no
active part in the games that followed,
menoher's injury instilled a moral attitude,
a spirit of victory into the whole team that
saw the boys rise to great heights before
the end of the season.

• the surprise victory over slippery rock
had a positive psychological effect on the
millermen, because in their next game the
indiana boys handed the edinboro teachers'
eleven an unmerciless 54 to 0 trouncing.

• in spite of the fact that coach miller was
very liberal in substituting (sending in
almost four entire teams), the score kept on
accumulating as the game progressed, a
number of newcomers asserted themselves
in this fracas, earl hoenstine, in his first
attempt at carrying the oval in a college
game, sprinted forty-four yards for a
touchdown, a sixty-two yard run by boyd
mcknight, freshman, was also one of the
many high-lights that featured in this one-
sided victory.

• woodring contributed two touchdowns
to the cause, followed by dick, kelley,
beretta, and dick grosklos who also shared
in the point making, errigo converted
three points after touchdowns out of the
same number of trials.

• what had the indication of becoming a
scoreless tie finally ended in a 6 to 0 defeat
for Indiana when the local gridders jour-
neyed to bloomsburg to furnish opposition
to the maroon and gold outfit in their home-
coming celebration.

• moleski's thirty-yard forward pass in the
early part of the last quarter netted the lone
tally of the game, giving the bloomsburg
teachers their first football triumph over
the Indians out of five games.

• one would have to dip back considerably
into the sports annals to discover when
clarion footballers administered a defeat to
an Indiana team, but in spite of that the
clarion game is always conceded to pro-
duce an interesting battle.

• this season did not prove exception to
this long-established rule, for no sooner
had the teams assumed their positions on
the field and indiana had run through two
warm-up plays, than woodring caught a
clarion punt and ran fifty-three yards for
the first score of the afternoon.

• greene followed woodring' s example
and helped the home cause with a pair of
touchdowns, while kelley and hoenstine
also picked their strides, so that when the
final whistle had sounded, the Indians had
amassed five touchdowns to subdue the
the clarion visitors 33 to 0.

• the indiana team invaded California for
the last away-from-home encounter of the
season, and with success, for it meant
another win for the millermen. this time
the count was 17 to 6 with indiana account-
ing for the points at the beginning of the

• woodring's drop-kick field goal from the
thirty-one yard line, fulton's touchdown on
an intercepted pass, and again woodring's
broken field running for the last Indiana
score were the outstanding points of the
game.

• the climax of the 1935 football season at
Indiana was reached when coach miller
sent his men to combat an invading ship-
pensburg team that boasted of a clear slate
of six victories and had scored 159 points
against six made by its opponents.

• all this only prompted the indiana grid-
ders to play a sterling brand of football, for
which they were rewarded with a 13 to 6
triumph that sent the shippensburgers
home reeling from the sting of this decided
blow.

• omar menoher, injured member of the
team, was selected as the honorary captain
of this game, which undoubtedly had a
great effect in creating that indomitable
spirit that carried the team on to its final
victory of the year.

• woodring again became the master of
the day through his brilliant punting,
running and field generalship, he wrote
the word finis to his memorable gridiron
career at indiana by accounting for both
of the touchdowns, the first resulting from
a ninety-yard jaunt across the field after
intercepting a shippensburg pass.

• although slow at the start, Indiana's 1935
football team gained steady momentum
and reached the crest with the last game,
hanging up five wins and three defeats for
the season and scoring 120 points against
51 for opponents.

• the absence of woodring, fulton, george,
greene, and tomb will certainly be felt
when the indians take their places on the
field for the 1936 campaign.

the basketball squad

iDdSKeiDdll • varsity basketball has gained tremendous impetus at indiana
during the past several years as manifested by the results for the last four
seasons, within that period of time the indiana basketeers registered forty-nine
victories against but nineteen setbacks.

• the 1934 season was highly successful as the basketball outfit coached by
george p. miller claimed the teachers college championship of Pennsylvania,
the 1935 season was also prosperous with twelve victories and but four blemishes.

• so it was with eager anticipation that everyone looked forward to what the
1936 edition of indiana's court team would do with the fifteen-game schedule
that was looming for the coming months, indiana fans were getting accustomed
to seeing their team play consistently winning ball, and hopes ran high for its
continuance.

• veteran material was not lacking as marshall woodring, harold fulton, kenneth
greene, John becoskey, and franklin george, all seniors, reported for practice
sessions as well as some of the other players, such as max dick, harold errigo,
edward mcdowell, and ralph kelley who had seen considerable service in pre-
ceding campaigns.

• coach miller also had a good crop of freshman material from which to draw
re-enforcement, to this group belonged big joe sutila, ace basketeer from pine
township high school; heilwood, who will probably make a great name for him-
self in teachers college basketball circles before his four years are up; thomas
reed, a promising man from reynoldsville, and the grosklos brothers from
indiana. kenneth nolan, a transfer, was also on hand to keep the ball moving.

• the opening tilt with lock haven served as a good indicator of the capability
of some of the new material to engage in collegiate contests, before the affair
was over, indiana had sent in three complete teams, each of them holding their
own against lock haven's varsity combine.

• in this initial game the indians started off on the right foot gaining a 41 to 33
verdict for the first victory of the new campaign.

• st. Vincent college usually sports a strong team and is hard to beat even on the
home court, but the indians, inspired by their opening win and joe sutila's last
minute heroic playing, chalked up a 35 to 33 triumph for the second consecutive
victory of the year, fulton with fourteen points was the outstanding scorer of
the evening.

• the indians had not lost a home game for two years, and it was naturally ex-
pected that this fine record would not be disturbed by California's visit to the
local floor, in line with this, the indians turned back the vulcans to the tune of
33 to 30 for the third win.

• a trip to clarion netted the fourth triumph of the season as the indians had
little regard for the feeling of their hosts and handed them a 40 to 24 lashing,
fulton, sutila, and woodring furnished most of the offensive punch accounting
for almost three-fourths of the total indiana score.

• on the next trip lock haven again fell victim to an indiana attack, this time by
a score of 41 to 37. woodring and fulton again parried off to make it hot for
opposing guards as the two of them were responsible for more than half of their
team's tallies.

• by this time the indiana hardwood court combination appeared to be prac-
tically unbeatable, to add to this belief the millermen took into camp their old
rivals, the rockets from slippery rock, in this, their sixth in a series of wins,
fulton again led the scoring by garnering fifteen points of the thirty-nine made
by the redmen. slippery rock scored 26.

• after this extended smooth sailing the local boys hit a dangerous snag that saw
their championship chances take wing, the California vulcans, always danger-
ous and especially on their own floor, had to be met on a foreign court, here the
indians received the short end of the 29 to 22 final result, thereby tasting the hrst
defeat in seven starts.

• easy playing on the part of Indiana during most of the game caused the locals
to succumb to clarion's spirited drive which cost the indians another game,
losing by a score of 32 to 29. incidentally, this was the first time indiana lost a
basketball game on its home floor since the 1934 season.

• edinboro extended indiana's losing streak to three games by taking a 42 to
29 advantage of the locals on the up-state floor, this three-game losing streak
was the longest that has been suffered by the redmen for many years.

• with bloomsburg visiting the local court, indiana again snapped into the
winner's column when it won a hard-fought 39-34 victory from the easterners,
edward mcdowell was the outstanding performer of the evening, scoring fully
one-third of indiana's points, woodring accounted for ten.

• after taking a trimming at the hands of st. vincent on the indiana floor by the
decision of 52 to 40, the redmen invaded slippery rock and came home with a
40 to 35 victory, scoring honors went to woodring and becoskey who registered
twelve and ten points respectively.

• from then on, the sailing was clear, in the same fine style that they started,
the millermen put on a strong finish to overcome that bad mid-season break, and
emerged champions of the western part of the state.

182

• playing their last home game of the season, the indians met edinboro and
added another win to the cause, errigo with fifteen points showed the way in
scoring, while fulton and woodring each had ten.

• the final trip of the year saw the millermen invade millersville and shippens-
burg, and with good results, in the first clash, the red and slate eked out a 32
to 29 triumph, and then visited shippensburg, conquering them 45 to 39.

• in this game four seniors, who have meant so much to indiana's winning ways
during the past four years, played their last game under the indiana colors.

• the accomplishments of marshall woodring on the indiana court will long be
remembered by everyone who saw him perform during his college career,
similarly, it will be a giant task for coach miller to fill the place of harold fulton,
kenneth greene, and John becoskey, who have played prominent parts in
indiana's success on the hardwood court, to these men goes a lot of credit for
placing indiana on such a high pedestal in basketball circles.

• having this book as an anniversary edition, it is a fine time to consider what
accomplishments coach george p. miller has reaped at indiana, now com-
pleting his tenth year as varsity football and basketball mentor at the local
institution.

thomas reed • red-haired
commercial freshman, known
by folks as "timmy."

183

• in the fall of 1926, coach miller's first year at indiana, football colors flew
high as the gridders representing the red and slate won seven of their eight
games to capture the western pennsylvania-west Virginia teachers college title.

• since then the millermen enjoyed many prosperous seasons, the best one
being the undefeated campaign of 1934 when the team boasted the only clean
slate of any college in the state.

• all in all indiana teams have played seventy-five games under coach miller's
tutelage, winning forty-seven, losing twenty-five and ending three in ties,
during the last four years the team has won twenty of its twenty-nine games.

• ten seasons of basketball under the coaching of mr. miUer has resulted in
ninety-three victories against sixty-two defeats, of these ninety-three games
forty-nine were won during the last four campaigns, also, the 1934 team brought
honor to the indiana campus by winning the state teachers college court crown.

• coach george p. miller receives the hearty commendation of the entire school
in accomplishing such wonderful results at indiana, and especially for the
promulgation of the fine spirit of sportsmanship which has been in evidence in
all the playing of his teams.

the baseball squad

jDaSSDdll • last year baseball was recognized as a major sport for the
second time in six years, last year being the first year of baseball as a major
sport at this college.

• coach paul boyts sent his team through the season to come back with seven
wins against five losses.

• Indiana opened the season on april 27th when lucerne was taken over 8-6.
the red and slate was never in any real danger; however the visitors had a hitting
spree in the seventh and eighth frames, picking up two runs in each of these
innings, after the fifth inning the second-string outfield as well as the second-
string battery took charge, ken greene with two bingles led the hitting attack.

• on may 1st, the opening day of the season with collegiate rivals, the boytsmen
defeated kiski at saltsburg to the tune of 4-1. in this game ken davis gave only
three hits while fanning ten opponents to turn in a masterful pitching exhibition,
davis figured in another feature play of the game at first, when he took a peg
from fulton, who could not cover the bag after retrieving the ball, and slid into
the initial sack for the put-out.

• davis, after three days' rest, went in against the st. vincent bearcats and fanned
16 men to gain a 3-2 victory at the grant street field, this, Indiana's third straight
victory, was st. Vincent's first defeat of the year.

186

• st. Vincent knotted the count in the seventh
with two runs, in the last of the fourteenth
greene hit a single to center with two out,
stole second, and then stole third while
woodring was being walked, mcdowell, who
had two strike-outs chalked up against him,
came to bat and with the count two strikes
and one ball hit a single to left to score greene
with the winning run.

• bloomsburg, with a 5-2 score, handed the
Indians their first loss in five games, the
Columbia county boys scored in the fourth,
fifth, and seventh as a result of heavy hitting.
Indiana crossed the bag in the fourth and
sixth, mcdowell with a home run, the first
home run of the season on the new athletic
field, and two singles took individual honors
at this game.

• on may 10th and 11th the boytsmen took
two from shippensburg, the first 7-3, the
second 6-3. davis and pooler pitched first
while greene pitched the second game,
little trouble was experienced in winning

either game, in the second game no visitor got more than one hit. four errors
by the infield and a scratch single gave the visitors three runs in the ninth,
"chet" hoenstine, smooth second-baseman, led the indiana attack with three
clean hits, indiana scored three runs in the
fourth, one in the fifth, and two in the sixth.

• the bearcats stopped the indians at latrobe
3-2 for the second loss of the year, in the
seventh with the score 3-0 woodring walked,
vokes singled to center, and woodring scored
on a passed ball, mcdowell brought vokes
in with a double to right center, with the
tying run on second indiana's scoring threat
was killed, three outs in a row.

• recovering from this, the red and slate went on a hitting spree to defeat lock
haven 18-3 at lock haven, home runs by fulton and davis and seven-hit pitching
by pooler gave the Indians the nod.

• scoring two runs in the last time at bat, mansfield handed indiana the third
loss of the year with the count 7-6. ken davis gave the hits while his teammates
were collecting only nine, eddie vokes, sterling center fielder, and ken davis
got three baggers, but they were one base too short

• kiski was taken into camp on may 22, 8-3. earl hoenstine, shifting from left
field to the pitching box, took his first game as he gave five hits, indiana counted
in aD but the fourth and eighth innings.

• on the last trip of the year, west chester and bloomsburg tacked losses on the
boytsmen. in a shigging match which saw "chet" hoenstine get his nose broken
by the first pitched ball of the game west chester emerged victorious with a score
of 10-9. repeating a previous performance, the Indians were able to put across
only two runs in the ninth, one short of a tie.

• at bloomsburg the indians with only two hits, one by anderson and fulton,
and with four errors chalked against them, lost with the score 9-0.

• davis, pooler, and greene pitched consistently all season, red mcdowell,
top batsman, eddie vokes, and anderson gave punch in the batting, fielding
was clean and accurate.

• coach boyts' teams in four years have won twenty-five games and lost nine, an
average of .735.

tennis • during the re-
organization of the athletic
program in 1933, tennis was
made a varsity sport; this 1935
season was the second year <ik
a varsity sport, late in march
coach earl e. prugh sent out
a call for tennis candidates,
a large group of newcomers
along with leonard pearson
and trevor hadley, veterans
of the previous season, re-
ported for practice.

• after several weeks of in-
tensive practice and a series
of eliminations, the prughmen
were ready for battle, the
season opened on may 7
when Indiana met blooms-
burg on the indiana courts,
the indians, outclassed by the
veteran bloomsburg squad,
could garner only three wins,
two singles matches by had-
ley and rimer and one by the
hadley-rimer doubles com-
bine, fighting an uphill fight
"sam" hadley came from

behind to take the measure

of krauss, number one man

of the bloomsburg outfit.

• the red and slate set down lock haven with five wins and one loss on the lock haven courts,
pearson played a fine game to win a close third set and the match. rimer and hadley won their
singles and the doubles combinations composed of pearson-gessler, and hadley-rimer experi-
enced no difficulty in winning their matches.

• with three wins and three losses, the redmen gained a tie at mansHeld. rimer and pear-
son, playing heads-up tennis, won singles matches, while hadley lost his first match to r.
straughn. hadley-rimer were defeated by the straughn brothers, but pearson and gessler came
through with a win to give indiana a tie.

• on may 2-3, slippery rock brought a veteran team to indiana. the red and slate men eked
out a close victory in this last match of the year, gessler won his first singles set of the year
to upset the dopesters and give indiana a hard-earned win. hadley won his tilt after three
hard-fought sets had been played, rimer took his match in an easy fasion, and the hadley-rimer
doubles combination marked up a win to give indiana its closing victory of the year.

winning summer school mushball team

the ping-pong champions

summer intrdmU.r3.lS • at Indiana in the time of roses (summer school
to us common people) the mornings are devoted to recitation and the afternoons
to recreation, tennis, mushball, ping pong, golf, horseshoes, bowling on the
green, horseback riding, and the like are indulged in.

• tournaments are held for the tennis fans, both male and female, however,
mixed doubles were a color of a different horse.

• probably the sport which drew most interest, judged by the number of partici-
pants and spectators, was mushball. there was a men's league; but the fairer
sex, it seemed, enjoyed seeing the less fair sex wrangling and ranting, in the
men's league rivalry and competition were intense, the cottage "a" team
finally beat the phi sigma pi team to win the summer school mushball champion-
ship.

• then of an afternoon while lollygagging or studying groveology on east campus,
one had to be most alert for a type of white pellet seemingly floating through the
air starting no place in particular and going no particular place.

• the clang of iron on iron resounded and echoed in every corner and nook on
campus, there was no blacksmith's shop near at hand; but horseshoes, a product
of this guild, were being tossed by farmer and city lads with no small number
of winners from the latter category.

(there's no use wasting three more years.)

we've been told.)

6. read "the penn" to find out which fork to use at the table.

7. dress properly, remember the first man up in the frat houses is the best-
dressed man.

8. have a commercial type your applications for jobs, (that will make two

freshman phantasy • it all starts back in 1935, when philbert percival
higgins graduates as honor student from podunk vocational high school.

• philbert percival's parents think he's quite the dandy and decide that it's
almost a criminal offense to prevent the world at large from showering love and
kisses (only his mommy is allowed to do the latter up to this time) on their own
"sonny boy." so immediately philbert trots down to u. b. bright, principal and
teacher of english, latin, math, shorthand, etc., and makes known his parents'
desire.

• then u. b. drags out a bunch of school bulletins and yearbooks, and the two
of them sit there and look and look for some school which they think "sonny boy"
can get through, it's a tough job, but while looking at a picture of the prigrind
club in the oak, sonny decides he likes the looks of the little girl standing third
from the left in the second row; so he guesses he'll go to Indiana state teachers
college, seeing as how u. b. comes from i.s.t.c. he thinks it's a pretty good idea.

• the next question which comes up, of course, is which course to take, since
the little woman is a primary, this isn't hard to decide, philbert perci-
val higgins arrives at the i.s.t.c. campus on the eleventh of September,
and there waiting to greet him are a bunch of fraternity men. now even
though these men do think pan-hell should take care of this lily of the back woods,
a representative of each walks up and shakes hands with him. each tells him
what swell fraternities the other two are. "sonny" thanks them for their kind
attention, then goes down to his room in cottage d.

• when he gets there, he finds a trunk and five suitcases already there, seeing
that they aren't his, he thinks someone has made a mistake, and he moves them
all out into the hall, pretty soon his roommate comes back and finds his trunk
and suitcases, and, since he's an upper classman, our hero moves them back in
again, not only that, but he also buys half the room and a seat in the auditorium
for $5.

• freshman customs come along next, and our hero is not asked, but told to wear
a dink and a few other things, he thinks he is being honored, and when he is
asked to deliver a little speech from atop the fountain on north walk, he again
thinks he is being honored and recites his commencement speech in which he
quotes aristotle, plato, socrates, al smith, herby hoover, and a few other celeb-
rities, when he ends up with the one and only puck's philosophy of love, "what
fools these mortals be," the crowd cheers, and he is established on the campus
as "puck."

• after this sudden gush of eloquence, the frats begin to think maybe this puck
bozo isn't such a bad egg after all, and since he seems to have plenty of dough, it
might be a good idea to look after him. puck is immediately led around rec
hall by the sorority girls; and then they discover he's ineligible.

• during the second semester it's his turn to do the rushing, so he rushes the
little woman right into his puddle jumper, and off they go for a little spin.

• the daily bulletin reads: "we regret that it has been necessary ..."

• puck returns home, the idol of his classmates, he has been away to college.

publisher, for the benefit of the reader may it be
announced that this gift was presented to the author
at the commencement exercises of the above class.

preface

• inasmuch as all previous collegiate dictionaries have included words which
were almost utterly useless to the college freshman, we unite our humble efforts
in the compilation of this dictionary of terms which arise to astound said freshman
and to cause him to tarry in ignorance because of the forbidding appearance of
his superiors, the upperclassmen. we have eliminated all words except those
necessary for the happy and successful completion of campus-bench conversa-
tions or library buzzing.
